did North Korea do it?

Not sure what they are trying to accomplish, but I see a pattern with dictatorships.

This. Knowing that it probably wouldn't start a war.

These sort of shenanigans happen more often than we hear about I think. I read it somewhere on the all-conquering BBC that it might have been revenge for a fight a few weeks ago, when the North came off worse. Can't find it any more though, so sorry.

Interesting that the flotilla (which I keep reading as "Floatzilla") is getting far, far more interest than the sunken SK's sunken ship. Anyway, here's the latest news is that SK is formally asking the UN for action (http://www.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/asiapc....un/index.html) while presumably hoping that China will be on their side this round (http://www.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/asiapc...acy/index.html). Though we can probably guess that's as likely as the US not acting to protect Israel.

North Korea probably did it, but apart from make a lot of noise there's nothing Korea or USA can do short of a war and no one wants that.

Since when...? History tells us that the USA will feed us any old crap if it can get them the opportunity to test out their new (and use up their old) toys.

Next piece of news we will here will be about north korea having some kind of WMD... or is that too cliche?

i cant believe nobody has put forward the idea that it may have been a Japanese solider who didn't know WWII had ended and had been hiding somewhere with his suicide sub, mistook the ship for American (which tbf it probably is, or at least based on designs from) and brought honor to himself at long last

its pretty obvious when you think about it

After surviving 65 years alone at sea, avoiding sonar and feeding on small defenceless sea crestaceans, at the ripe age of 93 he has finally decided to be a man about it...
